sdf

Code that makes SDF easier to use and more fun with GNU Emacs

Installation and use instructions for GNU/Linux and other Unix-like operating systems

If you have not already, setup SSH key-based authentication to sdf.org
If you have not already, install Git
If you have not already, install Mosh
Clone the project to your home directory: git clone https://git.sdf.org/scm/sdf.git. You could download the project from the website, but it would not be as easy to keep up to date.
Copy the dotemacs file in the sdf directory to your home directory: cp $HOME/sdf $HOME
If you have one, make a backup copy of your .emacs file in your home directory: mv $HOME/.emacs $HOME/dotemacs.bak
Rename the dotemacs file in the sdf directory to .emacs, and move it to your home directory: mv $HOME/dotemacs $HOME/.emacs
Make sure that the shell files in the sdf directory are executable. If they are not: chmod +x $HOME/sdf/*.sh
Run emacs
Switch to the SDF programs' buffer to use that program. Example, to use the com program, do the following: C-x b (that is Emacs notation for, while holding down the control key, press the x key, release the control key, press the b key), type com, press the enter key. Select other SDF programs, like bboard the same way.
